The Crucial P5 Plus is getting long in the tooth. It still represents a simple solution for expanding your storage, however, there are several superior PCIe 4.0 picks out there that'll do a better job. Elsewhere you'll find better random 4K and sequential...
Abstract: The Crucial P5 Plus is a budget PS5 SSD that looks to rival some of the cheaper options for internal console storage in 2023. However, with sequential performance that falls behind the majority of the competition, this is one drive that can't quite be con...

Although the Crucial P5 Plus lags behind the Samsung 980 PRO for raw reading speeds and small file access, it is faster for writing, and outperforms in the PC Mark 10 storage benchmarks as well. The Samsung drive is admittedly one of the fastest SSDs you...
Finally a heatsink version, Solid thermal performance, Performs up to specifications, Sleek look, 5-year warranty
Overpriced, There are faster Gen4 drives out there
As I mentioned at the beginning of this review we reviewed the non-heatsink version of this drive back in 2021, so internally this drive isn't necessarily new. The new thing is of course the added heatsink. This makes this drive a viable option for those...

With most reviews at best I have an idea of how something will perform because of the specs, but with the Crucial P5 Plus 1TB W/Heatsink, we have had the original P5 Plus in for testing a few years ago with its launch. Crucial however has added a heat...
The Crucial P5 Plus NVMe SSD is a slightly more advanced version of the company's pre-existing P5 range, but this model is nearly two years old (yet going very strong and affordable). It is designed to be compatible with Gen4 motherboards and intended for...
